Newton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 101-unit, 8-story residential building at Newton Street in Greenpoint, constructed in 2019, has had several notable incidents and regulatory interactions. During construction (2019), there were multiple safety violations including inadequate scaffold maintenance, failure to properly support excavation, and issues with exterior wall insulation. Two specific incidents required investigation: one involving a worker injury from falling toeboard and another related to an incident requiring medical attention, both resulting in monetary penalties totaling $12,500.

The building was inspected for various compliance issues in late 2021, leading to violations regarding building entrance security and missing bedbug reports, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. In recent history, the building has maintained an active but generally compliant status. It experienced one documented indoor air quality issue related to construction dust in March 2022, and currently, there is an open violation from October 2024 regarding an unsubmitted parking structure observation report.

Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, as evidenced by annual reporting. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, there were multiple enforcement-related complaints, though most resulted in no violations being found. The building's management has shown responsiveness in addressing violations, with multiple "Failure to Certify Correction" violations being dismissed in 2025, indicating compliance with regulatory requirements.
